Abstract

The syntheses of [4] rotane and polycyclopropylspiranic derivatives are reported. One route involves the formation of cyclopropane rings from C4-acyloins; a second route uses the dimerisation of bicyclopropylidene. Spectroscopic data do not point to any particular electronic interactions between cyclopropane rings in these compounds.
